Malone Again.

\ Republican eX-congressman, who
seems to be much more afraid Of Ma
HONE than we are, writes to us the letter
which follows. He has in his conclusion
answered his objection to our frequent
use of MAHoNE's name. We are not 60
ing to help the Republicans to get rid of
MALONE if thereby they would be so
strengthened as TO enable them to carry
Virginia for BLAINE for President.
NOVEMBER %, 1897.
TO the Editor If the Dispatch:
Jacob did not wreStle more vigorously
with the angel for the blessing than you
have done valiant service for the supre-
macy of Democratic rule. Virginia,
You know well enough, is more than de
batable fghting-ground in national
election, provided the Republican party
can have a showing in the fight, as con
tradistineuished from Mahonoism pure
and simple. or rather | will PIT it from
lf0hopciSHl upQduHCrdfCd. You form
ulated that issue in the late campaign.
You acknowledged the morning after the
election that N0hOnC, not the Republl-
can party, was defeated, and You pro
posed to rclegate Malone to his deserved
obscurity, and yet issue after Issue you
are putting Malone forward. You adj
yertise him H0foyiCty albeit yet it keeps
him quasi alive in a political sense.
He has few friends and not many adhe-
rents in his party, and if lett alone
he must soon Join the InnumeTable list
and lot of Cr's whose failures mark our
political history and where wrecks line
the political shore in greater number
than the wrecks float against our storm
beaten coast. Why is it? He is with
out power. He is without influence, and
if left alone new organization will
come into being bearing the Republican
name and advocating Republican ideas.
Two parties, YOU know, as a philosOphi-
cal student, are a political necessity.
Let me beg You therefore to turn your
steps to the morning. Forgive Malone,
as the people will soon, very soon, Jo'Yct
him.
This course viii, | am sure, commend
itself to you, unless, indeed-and there
is the rub-yOu rely upon his leadership
as a Republican TO insure Democratic
success. In that view | can pardon your
continual references to Malone, who
though signing himself Virginia " is
no longer the Commonwealth, and 1t
may not be a cold day, but it will be
long day of before he will ever control
again as he has heretofore. "Give the
old man rest. OLD GUARD.

CARE or HORSES.

Good light is most necessary. 1t Is 10
more pleasant for a horse 10 he kept in Z
dark stable than for a human being to be
kept in a dark room. It is very trying to
the eyes when 4 horse is brought out into
the light. Dark stables are often the
cause of blindness. Ventilation is most
important, not a %draught from open win
dows or doors, but properly constructed
veHtilators in the ceiling to carry OFF foul
air. which always rises and floats about
near the ceiling. The temperature of a
stable should not be over seventy degrees
or under forty-iive degrees. Don't allow
manure to accumulate behind the horses,
remove outsile as frequently as possible.
When left it soon pollntcs the atmosphere.

The relative value Of gold to silver has
varied greatly at different periods. In the
days of the patriarch Abraham it was one
to eight; B. c. 1000, it was one to twelve;
Il. G. 500, it was one to thirteen; at the
commencement Of the Christian era it was
one to pine; A. D. 500, it was enc to eigl-
teen; in 100, it was one to eight; i'll 400,
it was one to eleven; in 1915, it was one to
six; in 1551, it was one to two; in 1909, II
vas one to ten; in 1921, it was one to thir-
teen; in 1900, it was one TO fifteen and one
half; it maintained the latter ratio until
1872, when it began to rise, and in 1876 it
attained to one to twenty; it soon after
ward gradually declined, then advanced
again, and on the LIST day of August, 1886,
reached the highest point ever known, one
to twenty-five and one-quarter, since which
it has again gradually declincd to about
one to twenty.-ITeLrY Ners.

PUTTING COINS IN TEE Mouris.

What a vile habit that is which II sees
INDUCED in on streets ears by people who
certainly ought TO know better. That Of
putting coins in the mouth is the one re-
ferred to. 1t is quite common among We
men, who under such circumstances never
seem to have quite hands enough, and so
they press their months into service to do
what is not only a vulgar thing, but absol-
utely filthy. The nickel which is taken
from the purse may have recently left a
hand nnwashed since it fondlcd a child
dying with d~iphtheria or other infectious
disease. Or it may have come from the
hand of a man suffering from the most
loathsome of disorders .-Bost0n Herald.
